Forgot to mention, she has me on Invega right now, in addition to the Zyprexa, but I think the plan is to just have me on the Invega. It's a newer antipsychotic with no weight gain side effects.
I am also taking Lamictal and Lithium. The lithium could be part of the cause of the weight gain too. It also gives me really horrible acne.
I wish Lamictal alone was enough - that one has no side effects. Sigh. If only it worked for everything.
